will be an impetus to greater faith here in

A comrade in uefence of Professor Bat.man

To rHE EDITOR OF TIE Journal: | have read
with great deal of pleasure the articles publish
ed in your columns from the pen of Prof. l.. c.
Baeinan, critIcisiHg the Presidents veto of the
Dependent Pension Bill and the course of the
Democratic press in relation thereto. The Pro
fcesors heal is level, a. ii always is lie is a man
who is governed solely by his convictions of duty
and right, fcarle->y struggling for and upholding
the right, and IL fcarlcSsly condemnng that which
he considers wrong. Knowing him rs | Ito his
course in relation to the soldier AMI laborer is no
surprise to me, nor to of those who know him
best; and it is Il course of which every cN-soliier
should feel proud. The veterans in this vicinity
where he is well known, feel the greatest conf
dcnce and pride in him ardent and vigorous
champion of their rights and interests.
During the previous summer, when Il worthy
c"nlrade of B"rneman Post lay upon his death
bed, denied the right of Il pension hy an unel;te-
fu nation, the Post, after having exhausted it,
Ncf fund in his behalf was dclibcrating how hes
20 raise funds to further relieve him and smooth his
pathway to the grave, when Comradc Bateman, who
i an honorcd member of the Post, with his usual
un>eli~h generosity, stepped to the front and vol
UNFAIRLY, from hi- private purse, betrayed the
expense for a long period of nurse to watch hy
his bedside aGd to care for him i'll his dire ncces-
-ity, The sick conradr alluded to has since an
sWcrcd the last great roll call, hut the remem-
hrancc of that generous and unscltiSh act will al
ways be cherished, in the hearts of the hcrcft Wid
"W and urihan~.
He who lmh%Inr7 fur Il moment that i'll the
course thv Professor has taken regarding the sol
tlicr he is actuatcd hv selfish motives makes a
stupcndou- mistake The people of this vicinity,
who have known him longest and have watched
his cour from huyhood, know better. Prof Is.
ha- been invited to deliver the address on Memor-
ial day before Borncman Post, the exercise to be
held III East Jefferson This fact will be sufficient
To draw an immense audience rs he is very popu'
lar and Is Il pleasing speaker.

the Professor Is u CORES spundcnt and we shall
eagerly watch for other articles from his pen
Prof. Bateman is ;bundantly able to take of
himself, a. he has already shown, and should this
